concretecavewoman Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Too many, but the highlights are: The Aquabats: seen them at least 7 times. Yeah, 90s ska, amazing show, rindonkulous and goofy. Bob Dylan: about 10 years ago, he opened for Phil Lesh and didn't do anything too interpretive, unlike when I saw him last year and his show became more vaudevilian.http://youtu.be/z95jsjKn5BUGogol Bordello: two years ago at the Showbox in Seattle. That was a 3 hour party, just amazing energy. Seeing them again next month! And dozens and dozens of southern california punk and ska bands that were floating around in the 90s.

Vector Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 My first concert was KISS; my second was Queen My cousin's step-dad used to get us into CBGBs. Saw The Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Cars, Television and some others there Back in the 80s, my friends & I would go to The East Side Club on Chestnut Street in Philly. We saw Stray Cats, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, even Duran Duran Saw The Police in their legendary Grendel's Lair show, plus a few more times that they came around including the big Synchronicity Tour show at JFK [with Huey Lewis & Joan Jett, if you can imagine that (REM opened, but we skipped them)] I saw a lot of shows at JFK Lynyrd Skynyrd [before the plane crash, naturally] & Peter FramptonFrampton & Yes [120K attendance]The Stones w. Journey, J Geils & George ThrorogoodThe Who w. The Clash & Santana [their FIRST farewell tour] - I saw The Clash 3 times on the Combat Rock tour, plus a few times before thatForeigner / The Kinks / Loverboy Other than that, you could pretty much guess who else by simply cruising this listinghttp://rememberthespectrum.com/300/Concerts.aspAh, someone else who's been around!Way to many to list, but the best:Also saw the Clash three times on that tour!Dead Kennedy'sToxic ReasonsTSOLLive SkullMotörheadRamonesJim Carrol BandBig BlackWipersDead MoonHellacoptersGlueciferMonster MagnetThin White RopeSwansSonic YouthThese Immortal SoulsThe CureKelly Joe PhelpsRL BurnsideWovenhandJesse SykesTransmissionary SixScreaming TreesAnd on and on...

girljen Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 concretecavewoman, The Aquabats put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. I saw them at the Gothic in Englewood, CO. Not only did they get the name of the town right (instead of just saying Denver, because Englewood is a suburb), they sang a silly little song at the end about Colorado that just melted my native Coloradan heart. Because it was the Aquabats, it was ridiculous, and they did say we have mooses here (and then joked about what the plural of moose really is), but it was amazing. And, they passed the Mile High Challenge: They played well, and didn't have to take oxygen, for the whole show. This is HUGE for a band with so much brass. The trumpet player didn't attempt the higher octave in the solo in The Cat With Two Heads, but it was super impressive nonetheless. I would love to see them again. If only they'd play somewhere little tiny with no crowd...like maybe my living room. Quote Filled with DETERMINATIONhttps://www.nerdfitness.com/character/64217 Link to comment

wideeyed Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 To be totally fair, I did not compile the list. Ubergeek husband did. This is what we do. We go to concerts. Because we're older and we can now afford to go see ALL. THE. BANDS. Our tastes are a bit eclectic. He also neglected to mention that the introduction to live music for the kids included: Star Wars at the Hollywood Bowl; The Legend of Zelda Symphony 2; Final Fantasy Symphony.

Maledictus Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hey NF community; as a music lover I thought this would be a good idea to see the diversity of music fans on the forums (and if anyone had similar intrests) So, what bands have you seen/going to see/ or plan on seeing? ooh, going back to 1987 or so ...

Raikas Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I try to go to at least 3 festivals every year, so I actually don't remember all the names of the bands I've seen live! Just counting non-festivals though, I think in the past 5 years or so I've seen: VNV NationStraftanzRammsteinCombichristPaul SimonJoan BaezU2InterpolNERDRihannaKanye WestLupe Fiasco I also go to a lot of classical concerts and operas, but I guess that's part of the answer to a live music question that doesn't have "band" in the title, right? Although honestly one of the best concerts I went to in 2011 was the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and countertenor Daniel Taylor doing Vivaldi, so hey. And do DJs count? That would add to it as well.
